Penetrable CDMA

I don't know why you are surprised. the US NSA and their British kissing cousins GCHQ have been able to monitor all telecommunications, including CDMA. It is very doubtful CDMA would be allowed to thrive commercially if this wasn't the case.

GSM and CDMA a very secure against commercial spying, and relatively secure against intercept by countries other than the US and UK.

QCOM derives a not insignificant amount of its income from 'black' government projects. Monitoring protocols undoubtedly form a large
block of these.

What is surprising is the Frogs took so long, and that they were found out.

On a side note, there are a number of amusing apocryphal stories circulating about Echelon, most of which can be found quite easily on the Web. I wont repeat them, since I don't want the 'men in black' knocking on my door.
